Whew!

I love the holidays as much as the next person, but they can definitely be exhausting. Luckily they are drawing to a close, and so is the year 2007.

To welcome the New Year, I thought I'd post a few fun things.
  • Was I the only that thought using cds as decorations was a little outdated? I've redecorated the young adult section of the library with red paper lanterns left behind by the wonderful Lisa.
  • I put a comment box out in the Young Adult section along with some review slips so you can let me and your friends know what books you've enjoyed recently.
  • There is a "Staff Picks" display up in the Young Adult section as well. If you ever wondered what books we read in our spare time, you can get an idea there!
For all you quiz takers out there, I just took a quiz to see which character from the graphic novel "Plain Janes" I would be:






badge Which PLAIN Jane Are You?

Main Jane





As the leader of the pack, you are always looking out for your friends and working to make your group pretty tight knit.

When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...
